Chapter 243: The News of Victory Returns to Handan (Fourth Update)
It was only at this time that Hughley Shan Yu finally reacted.
It turns out that the Zhao army has always been in a suspicious array to attract their attention, but in fact, the real target of the Zhao people has always been the flank of the Huns!
At this moment, 20,000 cavalry of Zhao State are stabbing into the left and right wings of the Xiongnu army from two different directions like two sharp knives!
"Kill!" Countless Zhao cavalry swarmed like a tide, and instantly broke into the position of the Xiongnu army from the flank.
The unprepared Hun army was suddenly disorganized, and countless Hun cavalry panicked and reined in their horses to meet the enemy, but the cavalry of Zhao State was like a raging wave, instantly scattering these Hun cavalry who could not be gathered at all, and then ruthlessly harvested their lives!
In just a few moments, the left and right flanks of the entire Xiongnu army had begun to show signs of collapse.
Hughley Shan Yu gasped and hurriedly issued a series of orders.
"Quick, immediately divide your troops and resist these damn Zhao people!"
"King Zuo Xian, you lead your troops to the left flank, and King Right Xian goes to the right flank, you must stop these damn cavalry of the Zhao State, otherwise we will definitely be defeated today!"
However, Hughley's reaction alone was clearly too late.
The two cavalry units of Zhao State on the flanks of the Xiongnu army stirred up the position of the Xiongnu army like a dragon crossing the river, and they would not give the Xiongnu any chance to reorganize the formation and come again.
At the same time, the fierce drums also sounded in the heavy smoke and dust in front of the Xiongnu army, and countless soldiers of the Zhao army swarmed out from the smoke and dust in the sky, like a red tide on this prairie from the front to launch a general attack on the Hun army!
Flying arrows like locusts, the sound of killing shook the sky, blood splattered, stumps and broken arms flew in the air, and blood replaced green, becoming the theme color of this plain.
……
24 October 259 B.C., Handan.
Mi Xian walked into the hall quickly with joy on his face, and said to Zhao Dan, who was holding a meeting with five important ministers of the Zhao State: "King, good news from the north!" ”
Zhao Dan's spirit was shocked, and he hurriedly said: "Don't hurry up!" ”
Mi Xian didn't talk nonsense, and directly took out the information in his hand and spread it out and read: "Three days ago, the Northern Army Zhonglang led the army to fight with the main force of the Huns under the city of Pingyin, and after half a day of fierce fighting, the enemy army was broken and the enemy's heads were more than 10,000. Most of the Xiongnu retreated, and General Zhonglang ordered two cavalry to pursue later, and the rest of the main force continued to go north to relieve the siege of Yuanyang. ”
As soon as Mixian finished reading this battle report, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, and a look of joy appeared on their faces.
Although before this, everyone thought that Zhao Guo would undoubtedly win, but speculation was only speculation after all, and only when the news of the victory really came back, the heart of Zhao Guojunchen was finally put back into his stomach.
Only Zhao Dan, who sat on the top throne, still had a trace of shock and unreality in his heart.
That's the Huns! The Xiongnu, who were once famous in the history of Chinese civilization and suppressed the Han Dynasty to the point of being breathless, were so easily defeated by their own Zhao State?
Although it is true that the current Xiongnu cannot be compared with the Xiongnu Empire established by Maudun in history, it ......
Unconsciously, a strange feeling suddenly rose quietly from Zhao Dan's heart.
Originally......
It turns out that the widow is so hanging!
What kind of Huns, they were not hung up and beaten by the soldiers and horses of the widows.
The widows haven't used their strength yet, and the Huns have all fallen down!
Aha!
……
"The king, the king?"
A voice that seemed to be far away came into Zhao Dan's ears, waking Zhao Dan up from his intoxication abruptly.
Zhao Dan came back to his senses, only to find that the ministers of Zhao State present were staring at him with strange expressions.
Zhao Dan coughed dryly and said, "That...... Speaking of which? ”
The ministers looked at each other, and then Lian Po spoke: "King, do you want to send troops to the Qin State immediately?" ”
This question, in fact, Lian Po had already asked Zhao Dan twice just now, but at that time, Zhao Dan was still intoxicated and couldn't extricate himself......
Zhao Dan thought for a while and said, "How is the war between Qin and Chu?" ”
Because it was decided from the beginning that he would participate when Qin Chu was defeated, this point in time was very important.
Lian Po replied: "The Qin army under the leadership of Wang Yi has left the Wuguan, and after breaking through Xiyi, it has moved south along the Danshui, and is currently facing off against the Chu army led by Wancheng and Jingyang. ”
Zhao Dan asked again: "How is the war between Qi and Chu?" ”
Lian Po replied: "The 200,000 troops of the Qi State have come out of Jucheng, and the Chu people have Chunshenjun Huang Xie as the general to guard the Lanling and reject the Qi army. ”
Zhao Dan said: "If the Chu army is stubborn, can Qin Qi break Chu?" ”
To Zhao Dan's surprise, when he asked this question, he got two different answers.
Xiangbang Zhao Sheng said: "Chun Shenjun Huang Xie, the people who are ambitious and talented, if the king of Chu leads his troops, how can he win?" In the opinion of the ministers, Chu will be defeated by Qi Ye. ”
Si Kou Zhao Bao said: "Since the surrender of King Chu Huai, the Chu State has never won the battle of Qin, so in the eyes of the ministers, Chu will also be defeated by Qin Ye this time." ”
Obviously, the two giants of the Gong Clan faction were skeptical about the strength of the Chu State.
But there are also people who believe in the Chu State, for example, Neishi Yuxin said: "I don't dare to agree with Pingyang Jun's words. In the Battle of Changping, Chu recaptured Yingdu from Qin, isn't this Chu better than Qinhu? How can you say that you have never won? Although Chu was inferior in this battle, it was not necessarily defeated. ”
Zhao Bao was a little unhappy when he heard this, and immediately retorted: "In the Battle of Changping, the Qin army was concentrated in Shangdang County, and the two counties in the southeast were only a few county soldiers, so can this be regarded as the victory of the Chu State?" ”
"Alright, alright." Zhao Dan interrupted the quarrel between Zhao Bao and Yu Xin, which seemed to be about to break out, and asked Lian Po, "Wu Xinjun, how do you think this battle should develop?" ”
To be honest, compared to the opinions of others present, Zhao Dan will pay more attention to Lian Po's opinions, after all, Lian Po is one of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period, and he is also the number one general of Zhao State today.
Lian Po thought for a while and said: "Wang Di is a person who likes to attack sharply, and it may be difficult to resist when the party is fighting, but it is easy to break, so if the Chu State sticks to Wancheng, it will be difficult for the Qin army to overcome it in a hurry." ”
After listening to Lian Po's words, Zhao Dan nodded thoughtfully.
To put it bluntly, Lian Po doesn't think Wang Di's ability to attack tough problems is very strong.
In the Battle of Changping, although Lian Po was caught off guard by Wang Di at the beginning, after Lian Po stabilized, Wang Di never found a chance to break through Lian Po's Changping defense line.
So Lian Po's evaluation seems to be quite pertinent.
After listening to Lian Po's words, Zhao Dan also had a plan in his heart, and said: "If the battle situation is indeed as Wu Xinjun said, presumably the battle of Qin Qi and Chu will not be able to tell the winner this year, and there is no need for the widow to immediately send troops to Hedong County, and observe the battle situation first!" ”
Anyway, sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, the later you enter, the more beneficial it will be to Zhao Guo.
This kind of opportunity to consume the strength of the Qin State in vain is really rare.
So Zhao Dan is not in a hurry, not at all.
